Chapter 6: Burning memories

After their conversation the two new friends made their way to the kitchen where they saw Yusuke and the others chewing down on food. "Hey you better have saved some for us." Kya told them.

"Hey, you snooze you lose." bluntly replied Yusuke with his mouth full of food, until Keiko bashed him in the head.

"Yusuke chew with your mouth closed."

Kya just rolled her eyes and whispered to Hisa, "You'll get used to this." Hisa tried to hold back a laugh when Keiko had hit Yusuke.

"Kya! Hisa! Here I saved some food for you two." Yukina told them, smiling as she handed them some food when they sat down. Kya sat down in her usual seat in the middle and Hisa sat between her and Kurama.

"Serves you right Urameshi, you should be polite." proudly said Kuwabara, trying to impress Yukina.

"Kazuma you're so nice." Yukina said softly sitting back down beside him.

"Gimme a break." mumbled Yusuke, before stuffing his face with food once again.

"So Hisa, I see you and Kya became fast friends! That's kinda surprising." said Kurama.

"Why? Is it hard to believe or something?" Hisa asked him.

"Heck yeah, we've know her for years now, and it took us six months for her to even talk to us." Yusuke spoke up.

"Hn." was all Kya said before excusing herself and going outside for a walk.

"Uh was that my fault?" nervously asked Hisa.

Kurama smiled at her and shook his head, "No she gets like that a lot. She likes to be alone most of the time." Hisa held back her blush as he smiled at her, and went back to eating her food.

-At Genkai's Training grounds-
Kya threw both her scythes hard and fast into the air at a pretended enemy, and caught one as it came back, but slightly missed and ended up having the blade hit her hand instead. "Ahh, great, just great." she groaned, glaring at her hand. She had always fought and trained for hours every day.

It was how she was taught when she was just a small child, no amount of love or happiness could ever make the pain inside her disappear. The memories assaulted her mind every day and night, just thinking about it made her fuel with rage and anger. Kya gripped the crystal around her neck that her mother had made for her and thought back to when she had lost her mother and father.

-Flashback, 15 years ago-
A younger Kya, around five, was playing in a field with her two parents. The young Kya was picking a few flowers to give to her mother. That was the only part of the memory Kya loved, but the peace was shattered when the sky grew dark and in an instant, she had saw both her parents being slashed and murdered.

It was horrible. Something no five year old should ever have to see. There, standing above them, was a tall demon with his sword drawn. His long black hair flying in the wind over his face covering his whole face except for his piercing green eyes.

That demon who she came to know as Ryukhan, had kidnapped her and taken her to his fortress. To her surprise there were other children there too. It turned out Ryukhan had gone all over Makai, kidnapping children that possessed special powers and trained them to be heartless killers. Kya though, was beaten and trained the hardest. At age seven, Ryukhan had fifty to seventy guards attacking her at once. And afterwards they would leave her beaten and bloody on the ground.

Since Kya was half light and darkness, Ryukhan planned to kill her at a certain age and take all her power for himself. But when she was thirteen she managed to somehow escape and ended up running for her life everyday from Ryukhan's attack guards, though surprisingly she managed to kill every one of them.

Kya soon made friends with some passing demons and almost even fell in love with one. But when she told them what kind of demon she really was, they rejected her. Except for the one named Haru, he said he still cared about her, but like all the rest he betrayed her as well and sold her location out to Ryukhan for power.

After that day she no longer trusted anyone... until she met the spirit detectives. Koenma had ordered them to retrieve her and look after her. She had learned that if her power was ever really unleashed she could become more powerful then all three demon lords put together.

Like Yusuke had said, it was about six months before she talked to any of them for real. They had even helped her kill Ryukhan and avenge her parents, but even after she killed him her pain remained. A few months before she killed him though she learned that she had a brother and he was there as well.

Kya fought hard to save her brother Kimeko, but he was under Ryukhan's control and, just like her parents, he was killed right in front of her. The rage that built up inside her had helped her defeat him. But it still hurt, her heart ached so badly that after she killed him, for the first time in ten years, she let the tears fall from her eyes. All the pain she held back was built up and she could no longer contain it. Kya would have remained on the ground if someone had not been there holding her close, she was surprised to see that it was Hiei.

She had grown closer to the spirit detectives that day, even though she would never admit it, she had even fallen in love with Hiei. From there on, they had spent more time together and learned about each other's pasts. But inside she was frightened to show she cared for him. She was afraid of being betrayed by someone that she was close to.
-End Flashback-

Kya sighed, reliving her memories made tears build up in her eyes but she shut them away. A streak of pain alerted her to the wound in her hand but decided to ignore it. 'I deserve this pain all of it, my family died because of what I was. I am the one that should have died not them.' Kya thought sadly looking up at the blue sky, not knowing that she was being watched by a certain nosy fire demon. The one thing that could always frighten a warrior was their memories.

There I can say it was sad now! Reviews encouraged and highly appreciated!
